(The set-up)Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the homos still in the closet back in the 1970's?
(The punchline)Not in Rehoboth they weren't.

The last two City Managers made less than 150k with no "loans"
Cape May chased them out in the late 60s.(The set-up)

Fortunately there was a “fairy” nearby for the evacuation.Cape May chased them out in the late 60s.
One rainbow shinebox, tax free! @erubyThe Homos sure have come a long way since the Stonewall riots.
That helps a lot.Deep off season (read winter) is the only time you will find me anywhere near these "resorts".
this is what Rehoboth has come down to:"In response to the podcast, Mayor Stan Mills said it was not the city’s intent to be groundbreaking with its city manager contract. The goal was to attain a highly qualified candidate and to incentivize that candidate to develop a long-term professional relationship with Rehoboth Beach, he said.
“After having searched for more than twelve months total for a new city manager over the course of two years and losing many strong candidates who withdrew, citing salary and housing costs, the commissioners decided collectively to do what was necessary to make the city manager job in Rehoboth Beach attractive to Mr. Tedder,” said Mills, in an email April 22."
It appears they were SO eager they ignored their own rules!
Industry insiders: Taylour Tedder’s contract is groundbreaking
Rehoboth Beach’s contract for incoming City Manager Taylour Tedder hasn’t just caught the attention of city residents and taxpayers, it’s also caught the attention of the city manager community across the country. This is an outlier and there’s...www.capegazette.com

Perhaps Mayor Mills gets a new boyfriend that pays him cash for expensive dates and gifts?

His agreement should be void because they did not follow the rules hiring him.If the job search was unsuccessful and money was the issue, then there is more than one way to address that. But there appears also to be an expectation that a new hire would also be an engineer and have prior experience at a job of the same level for at least four years. They want to attract from a national applicant base, so it costs. The loan deal may be what it takes to compete at that level.
For that much money, it might take a suit in state court.His agreement should be void because they did not follow the rules hiring him.
We will see.
I don't see why every little seaside ******** needs to be run by an engineer. Don't they already have access to engineering firms? Does it make sense for every 20 mile stretch of shoreline to managed independently?If the job search was unsuccessful and money was the issue, then there is more than one way to address that. But there appears also to be an expectation that a new hire would also be an engineer and have prior experience at a job of the same level for at least four years.

They have made the job into one that is both technical and executive, which is reasonable. RB is expensive. There is considerable development in the county as that area has developed from a quaint church-based summer enclave to a very socially-inclusive East Coast resort area and now to a four-season retirement and services-industry-based region, from the Delaware Bay to the Maryland line and inland for several miles. Last I was there, Beebe was building new large facilities and there were many gated communities under development. Traffic is a nightmare, no quick trips to the Giant. Except for park land, development is continuous from Lewes south.
This doesn't end here. Just like in Florida coastal communities, local Delaware government is going to have an increasing burden of dealing with coastal erosion concerns and floodwater management planning. That is a necessity as it will affect insurability and mortgage-ability of the residential housing stock. They have to up their game in terms of having a more active role in day-to-day engineering and inspection tasks with a more active executive role. No more waiting for sleepy evening monthly city council meetings.
